  1. 1. Climate, Irrigation, and GHGs : a Regional Analysis of EU Arable Land Values

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Författare :Filip Markovic; [2024]
    Nyckelord :air pollution; climate change; EU; global warming; irrigation; land value;

    Sammanfattning : This master's thesis explores the influence of climate conditions on EU arable land values, pioneering a novel approach that blends the Ricardian Approach models within an Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) framework. By employing this methodology at the regional level of NUTS2, the study offers insights into the interplay between climate and land value. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Exploring patterns in risk factors for bark beetle attack during outbreaks triggered by drought stress with harvester data on attacked trees: A case study in Southeastern Sweden

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Nikolaos Kouskoulis; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Geography; GIS; Geographic Information Science; Forest ecosystems; Bark beetle outbreak; Southeastern Sweden; Predisposing factors; Triggering factors; Drought stress; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Raising temperatures and climate variability have intensified extreme weather events worldwide. These extremes can enhance and trigger possible pest outbreaks. Bark beetle attacks have become a major concern in regions with extensive spruce forest areas. Southeastern Sweden has faced repeated outbreaks resulting in widespread tree loss. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Methanobacterium cauma sp. nov., a hydrogenotrophic, halotolerant methanogen from an active serpintinization system at Chimaera seep

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Författare :Aubree Stephens; [2023]
    Nyckelord :methanogen; archaea; hydrogenotroph; halotolerant; Methanobacterium; Chimaera seep; methanogenesis;

    Sammanfattning : The archaeal branch of life represents some of the oldest life forms on Earth. Archaea are believed to have diverged from Prokaryotes roughly 3.5 billion years ago and it’s theorized that biological methane production started around this time as well. This would make methanogenesis one of the oldest metabolisms on our planet. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Assessing the relation between temperature buffering, soil moisture, and canopy cover in a Swedish coniferous forest

    Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Författare :Mark Van der Keijl; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Temperature buffering; forest microclimate; soil moisture; canopy cover; forest management; Sweden;

    Sammanfattning : Forests buffer temperature extremes through processes such as canopy shading, wind speed reduction, and evapotranspiration. As a result, microclimates are formed within forests whose climatic conditions are distinctly different from the surrounding macroclimate. LÄS MER

  7. 5. High tide flooding in near future projections for popular travel destinations

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :David Ebert; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; High tide flooding; Projections; Adaptation and mitigation strategies; Lunar precession; Nodal cycle; Cycle of lunar perigee; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : High tide flooding (HTF) is becoming more common in coastal regions of the United States, although this phenomenon remains largely undocumented in published literature from other parts of the world. No matter the emissions scenario over the next decades, sea level rise (SLR) is projected to continue worldwide until at least the end of the 21st century, continually pushing the frequency and severity of HTF.
